infectious mononucleosis is caused by a ____________________.

spirochete
virus

Explanation:

Analyze Question 10

Identify the therapy used for multiple sclerosis, hepatitis C, and cancers.
Synthetic interferon is a cytokine therapy used for these conditions.
Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific but interferon is the classic answer here.
Wait, the prompt says "The antibody therapy known as...".
Actually, monoclonal antibodies are indeed antibody therapies.
Let's re-evaluate: "The antibody therapy known as monoclonal antibodies is used to treat...".
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are widely used to treat multiple sclerosis (e.g., natalizumab), some cancers (e.g., rituximab), and hepatitis C (though less common than interferon, mAbs have been developed).
Alternatively, is interferon considered an "antibody therapy"? No, interferon is a cytokine, not an antibody.
Therefore, "monoclonal antibodies" is the correct choice because it is explicitly defined as an antibody therapy.

Analyze Question 11

Identify the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis.
Infectious mononucleosis is primarily caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV).
EBV is a member of the herpesvirus family.
Therefore, the causative agent is a virus, not a spirochete (which is a bacterium).

Answer:

Question 10

• monoclonal antibodies (Correct answer)
• synthetic interferon

Question 11

• spirochete
• virus (Correct answer)
